3:01hello and welcome to the Therapy Crouch with me Abby Clancy me Peter Crouch me Gaz this is Ness Me Anything it really is Dave, what's the deal here? Because I know that we're obviously in, you know, rented accommodation at the moment, in a home. Usually you have the tree up, the presents wrapped already. I'm just saying to Gaz then, like I'm feeling slightly disheartened because, you know, it's November. Normally I'd have my tree up by now, all my presents wrapped, be super organised. So you're an early tree-er? I'm an early tree-er. She's Mrs. Christmas. You're Mrs. Christmas. Santa baby. When's it go up then?

3:38First of November normally. We haven't got a house yet, so. But if you were still. Oh, sorry, when, sorry. Yeah, absolutely. First November. I'm up quick, out quick. Kind of. So. Oh, God. No, up early, out soon as it's done. Airfly. Let me rephrase that. So I like my treat up early, as in, you know, the run up to Christmas. I like to be long and Christmassy. And then as soon as Christmas is done, I want it out of there. Gone. And want my house back to normal. Yeah, that's it. You kind of prolong the lead up to Christmas and then the minute it's finished, it's like, done with you now. Is that New Year's Day it comes down?

4:23When does it normally come down? Probably around. Just whenever it can be asked. It's early Jan, isn't it? Really? No, it's down way before Jan, Pete. What? Yeah. No, because you still want it out for New Year's Eve, don't you? You've got to take it down before New Year's Eve, are you? It's always gone before Johnny's birthday. Okay, so first, well, no, you hung over on the first, it'll be second. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't deconstruct it with a hangover, can you? That's just too depressing. You feel awful and you've got to take it down and suddenly the house looks bare again. You're like, ugh.

4:54Also, you know, January's a long month. I think you should prolong it. I think we should personally go beyond your birthday. No, because when you put it up in November, you're done. You're done by then. That's like November, December, Jack. That's three months of a tree. I think enjoy it. Why not? It's a festive, like, enjoy it. You don't. I'll remind you of that. Okay. Yeah, well, I suppose if you're done with Christmas, you're done with a tree, aren't you? There are people near me in West London who put the lights up and then just leave them all year round. There's like five houses with Christmas lights on all year round.

5:27Surely that's all year round Christmas lights? Lazy or absolutely loving Christmas. I don't know. What do you think? Well, they might just love a fairy light. They might just love a fairy light. Because I had fairy lights in my garden. Really? but the front of the house they've got a Santa one of them oh no no no just sat there they leave a Santa off during Halloween there's a Santa there yeah saying Merry Christmas that's laziness it's bad isn't it I wanted to do coloured lights this year controversial coloured lights just gives me a feeling inside when I see those coloured lights maybe yeah maybe it's like that's probably because that's what people had in the 80s when I was a kid yeah I know the ones have you seen the snowman the cartoon the tree's got yeah it's all those multicoloured like feel so warm and inviting yeah yeah god I'm feeling really festive all of a sudden yeah I think we've turned a corner we've gone back to like when we were young that's when it's so magical isn't it so when the minute you go back there you start feeling festive thanks for that yeah no worries that's what that's what I'm here for no matter what people are being right back down to earth nostalgia's a lovely thing god it is I think you know it is it is it is I mean you know the best times of your life when you're a child like your most magical thought, certainly with Christmas.

6:38You're never going to replicate that being a child again, are you? No. Remember how excited you were Christmas Eve? Oh, mate, yeah. Couldn't sleep. I feel sick in the morning because I've gone up all night waiting. Outrageous. Yeah. But I was convinced I saw Santa when I was a kid. I literally heard him crawling on the roof and the bells and all that jazz. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Kid crashing down for me when I saw, when I heard Santa fall down the stairs. Pissed. and swearing. Sounded just like my dad as well. That was when I was kind of, yeah, I just had my suspicions then. It is kind of sad the day it all comes crashing down and you realise, isn't it?

7:20My kids are all believers. Are they believers? That's nice. Yeah, it's good. Apart from Sophia. Yeah. But they won't tell the others. She wouldn't tell the others. No, it's special, isn't it? Do they come in at three, four in the morning and try and wake you up to... Do an early present. We go get to bed. Get back to bed. We're like a 6am-er. Yeah. Do you know the Tooth Fairy didn't come last night, did I? That was on me. Did you forget that? No worries. I'm just saying. I didn't brief the Tooth Fairy, did I? And then she put it in like a little sandwich bag of tooth. So we were like, that's because you put it in a sandwich bag, let everyone know.

7:50And she was like, oh, really? Terrible. You got the AMAs. You up for it? Let's ask me things. Do you want to start us off, babe? Sarah. Hey, guys, you are great. I can't listen to many people's drivel, but you guys are just brilliant. I just wanted to say, I'm listening to one of your latest episodes and you guys are correct. No one ever wolf's whistles or chats me up. I'm not too shabby, apparently, but you would never know it when I go out. I say, bring back the wolf whistle. What do you think? Has it had enough time away? Do you know what? I just think girls, I think we underestimate the wolf whistle.

8:28I love it. Sometimes it makes people feel good. everyone's too woke now I can't bear it what like for a wolf whistle yeah like it's like don't you don't you put me down it's not like we're not like I'd love to you I think that's what you said I think there's a lot of girls out there that would be that would maybe not even engage with the person yeah but you get a wolf whistle I reckon there's a little bit of a like oh yeah yeah still got it have you ever been wolf whistled er no it's not still why the fuck would I be wolf whistled if you do see me you're around feel free I've whistled at you loads of times I've whistled at you loads of times yeah you've done it to me I can't whistle really

9:17you've got me going there you do whistle at me well I do no you don't I just go no you don't use this as what you do when you see me that's not true can you guys do the two that one in your mouth no I'd love to be able to do that yeah me too that's not bad

9:40that was consistent three are the same not bad yeah but that's not doing the tongue thing could you do

9:48I don't know I'm not against it is the thing Zara's not against it by the sounds of it I think it's nice I love it I think she likes it yeah How would you feel if I wolf whistles on... I'm going to kill you. It's a joke, aren't you? I'd whack you everywhere.

10:09Put your fucking eyes out. Maybe don't bring it back then. Just wonder. Bye, who are you thinking, Blondon, what's... Right, next question. Next question. Absolutely don't. You definitely do. Couldn't care less. Go on.

12:02I'm writing in after listening to your latest episode about the husband who wanted to miss his anniversary dinner for GTA 6. Do you remember that? Oh, what happened with that? What's GTA 6? Grand Theft Auto? How was the launch? Did you get that Grand Theft Auto? It's next week. Still now, is it? That was a couple of weeks away. we're going to get you on it i want to see you on it want to see you rob a car i draw the rubber car in real life adrenaline junkie today my boyfriend and i had a bit of a disagreement so i decided to take the day for myself and i are in the sun we've recently moved to spain and take my mind of things i put on my favorite comfort podcast the therapy crouch of course a little backstory my boyfriend and i I have recently booked our civil marriage ceremony in Gibraltar.

12:49We've been trying to find a date that works for everyone's schedules. And I was absolutely set on 11-11. Unfortunately, that wasn't possible. I have a bit of a thing about numbers and refuse to get married on an ugly date. So we eventually settled on November the 20th. We paid the fee. My parents booked their flights and everything was officially sorted. Don't say that's a Grand Thest Rato day. Now, whilst listening to your podcast today, you reminded me of something. When GTA was announced, my boyfriend told me when it came out he would need at least a week on his own in the office to play it.

13:21This is so fucked up. He even went as far as wanting me to sign a contract, agreeing not to disturb him. So I think you can probably see where this is going. Whilst this is the podcast, I suddenly realised that GTA is being released on the 19th of November, the day before our wedding. I don't think she should marry a guy who sits in a room for a week playing a computer console. It's absolutely ridiculous. And it makes me feel physically sick. I don't marry him, Mr. Schell. Have you seen this? They're doing studies. I think she should dump him now. They're doing studies about the economy and how it's going to dip when the game comes out because no one's going to go to work.

13:56That's how serious this thing is. I think everyone and their dogs is going to be playing it. I don't know one person who plays that. Not one of Sam. Yeah, but he's a teenager. He's a teenager. He is. How old are you, Sam? Like 30. 23? 23. Is it Bramie? 23 and me. Is it a newborn? He is a newborn. Like literally, yeah, 23. Are you going to allow that? Are you going to allow Sam to play it for a week? 23, yeah. Obviously, you're going to have to come out and record this podcast. Other than that, you can go and play it all over your life. Fill your boots. Are you a man when you're 23, would you say?

14:33No disrespect. You're still a boy, aren't you? We're boyish. Boyish. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Young boy. Definitely adulthood. Definitely adulthood. Yeah. So I think that's okay. What if like a 40-year-old man was sitting there? A man who's getting married. Yeah, no. Just no. Well, anyway, I ran back to the apartment to tell him what I'd done. How he somehow managed to forget the release date of the game he was apparently planning to dedicate the entire week of his life to. I have absolutely no idea. Luckily, his response was to laugh with me and accept that he'll have to wait a few days and play it when we get home.

15:08Oh, what a lovely guy. Thank you, Pete and Abby, for turning a bad day into a funny story and making me completely forget why I was annoyed in the first place. Here's to marriage. Nice numbered dates and delaying GTA week. Love a very loyal listener and a happy future missus. Oh, I retract my statement, don't dump him. No, because he's seen that on the chin. He's laughed about it. That's so nice. You know, and he'll probably get two weeks playing it now. You know what? It's a win-win. You know, when they get to the room after the ceremony and just put it on. How do you put these things on it now?

15:40Is it still like a CD or thing that goes in? I think so, yeah. Yeah, a disc or whatever. Where do you... Oh, is this all digital, this one? Where do you stand on the dates thing? I've just been reading that. 11-11 being the dates you really wanted. 11-11 is like angel day, isn't it? It is. Do you ever do that thing where you see the clock, it says 11-11, you make a wish? No, I've never seen 11-11. Have you not done that? No. Next time you guys check your watches or look at your devices and it says 11-11, stop and just make a quick wish. It's something I've done. Never come true. Really? It's interesting.

16:11I picked it up from someone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I never have to keep the volume on 13. Is that one of your superstitions? I would never. Yeah, if it's on 13, I have to move it. That's why you walk around in size 12 shoes. I actually am 13 on it. I've got a problem with 13, just not on the volume. Just not on the volume. Why is that? Just, I don't. Anyone who leaves it on there, I think, I have to change it in the house. It's like an odd number, isn't it? You don't like an uneven number. Yeah, I don't know what it is. No, because I don't mind it being on 11 or, you know, 15. You change it at other people's houses?

16:42Oh, yeah, I have done. Whose houses are you going round to, looking at 10 of the volume? What are you, like, what's wrong with you? You said you change it in other people's houses. I'm just curious. Yeah, but I have been in other people's houses. Watching telly? I keep talking about, like, well, of course. When did you ever watch telly in someone else's house? So you're telling me I've not been in someone's house watching telly? No. What are you talking about? I've never watched telly in someone else's house. You've never? Okay, so we were in Norway last week. We weren't watching telly. Yeah, I'm sure there was a telly on.

17:12No, there wasn't. No, there wasn't, actually. Your dad's house? I don't know, your mum's house? Your sister's house? No. Of course you have. We don't go around and watch TV. I certainly wouldn't touch anyone else's remote. It's so odd. Engaging with that. Like, you're telling me whose house have you been watching TV? Of course that's happened. I can't think of one off the top of my head now but I've watched TV in people's houses and turned the volume off yes lots of times when I was younger mainly okay better play I respect it die on that hill that's the phrase we're saying now isn't it what does it even mean there a die on this like it's something you just do it's like you believe in so passionately you die on that hill yeah that's obviously the saying do you know what the saying means it's a it's a jesus thing isn't it down the hill no i'm willing to die on the hill that's a saying it's a normal saying but i don't like people incorporating into daily life now daily life now into 2027 we're talking about yourself camera and some of these phrases certain sayings yeah what else didn't we like well i didn't like i don't like my bad i think that's gone now but My bad just vote.

18:24My bad. Year 2K, wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah. We're just standing on Soz. Someone apologised to you by saying Soz. I'll drop in my mouth a little bit. I don't think Soz is one of... I don't think Soz is that... No. It's the same thing. I don't know. It's certain things, isn't it? Like, I think things are creeping in. What about appreciate you? If we leave today and I say appreciate you guys, how would you feel? Well, you wouldn't say that to us. I feel like I have. Because you don't. He says that a lot. I've heard him say that a lot. That came from LA, didn't it? Yeah, he was in LA for too long, wasn't he?

19:03Yeah. There's certain sayings that are cringe, aren't they? Like, oh, put your teeth on edge. Like, oh, God. It's excruciating. Something in them now. I can't think of one. Okay. Not sure if this is spicy or just weird. I discovered six months into living together that my boyfriend has never told his family we're together. Red flag. I've met no one. Even red flag is one of them things. Red flag, yeah. Ooh, yeah. Or even like green flag. What's the other flag they say? Amber flag. Amber flag. The fuck? What about the phrase, it's giving? It's giving. Oh, yeah, yeah, that one does mean. It's giving sexy.

19:41Do you know what I mean? Or the other one is, I'm going through that, I'm going through my mmm phase. I'm going through my mmm? You know that one? Do you know which one it is? yeah I'm going what is it luteal what luteal phase what is that what's luteal people are saying it's your cycle it's your cycle what I've been practicing on vaginas since the early days of this pod when I didn't know about periods I've just got no clue what you're saying what are you saying a luteal phase what I think it's part of a woman's cycle where luteal luteal never heard of that I think I've got that right yeah yeah What is it?

20:20Bosh. Here we go. Second half of the menstrual cycle, right after ovulation before your period begins. I basically went away and learned about periods. What the fuck is going on here? Is this after you... This blood descended into absolute chaos. No, this is after you saw girls leave tampons in for a week. That was it, yeah. And then we told Peter Andre. He went home and learned about... Oh, did you? Educated himself on periods. I've been cramming, you could say. I've been, you know... Cramming? Cramming, like cram session, learning all about anatomy. Learned about perimenopause. I thought she was in Little Mix.

20:52Turns out it's not. No, she was in Little Mix. Turns out it's an actual thing. It's an actual thing. Anyway, sorry, what were you saying? You were saying, I'm in my something phase. Yeah, people say that, you know, like, I'm in this era, I'm in my da-da era. Do you know what I mean? I'm in my, yeah, brat era. Yeah, oh my, whatever. Oh my, what are you saying, oh my? What? Oh my. I'm in my I'm in my like you're something the Sheikira I don't know how the fuck it is Sheikira I'm in my Sheikira

21:33we are we're old as fuck knock we are old as fuck oh gosh yes I've met no one turns out he told them years ago he was focusing on his career and never updated them so I'm a secret my question is is being someone's hidden long-term partner a red flag beige flag or just as he claims waiting for the right moment six months and a shared netflix account later begs to differ i think that's a tough one i think like when you know you know like if if you meet someone fantastic if you're in a relationship with them or not or it's just a friend you talk about them you tell people oh my god this person they were great you know if i found out you didn't tell your parents about me for six months, I'd really, really feel hurt.

22:20Yeah, I think it's a bit, yeah, it's like you should be shouting from the rooftops if you've met someone that you really like. Yeah. So I wouldn't say it's red, red, but it's beigey red. What is beige and red together? Pink. It's a pink flag. It's a pink flag. Pink flag. Yeah, I kind of get it a little bit more though. I had a period in my life where I had quite a few parts. Did you know? I did. I was in my luteal phase. Leave him for a week. I left him for a week. I've got toxic syndrome, whatever. I, yeah, I had a few. It's called toxic shock. That's the one. That's, yeah. Toxic shock. Is that when you leave him for a week?

23:03No one leaves him for a week. Just saying. Come on. But yeah, I had a few and I got kind of fed up of saying like, I've got a new partner. We've broken up. Got a new one broken up. So in the end, I was like, I will just wait next time. give it a few months to see if it's actually a goer and then I'll tell people. Yeah, that makes sense. These are shared, they live together. I think you seem too young to describe it as partner. Is that quite an old phrase? Partner could be gay. It's a bit more gay, I think. That's true. Girlfriend just seems like very childish though. Me girlfriend. You know what I mean?

23:37I like girlfriend. Do you like girlfriend? I would use girlfriend. Yeah. Partner feels a bit, I don't know, like a like a transaction like my partner like my business partner oh I see your consortium yeah yeah my consortium or like I know my all my gay friends say partner they don't a lot of them don't say boyfriend they'll say my partner that's a good point maybe I got yeah I always feel like just kind of coming like a different word for it like my other half always like skirting around it I don't know why maybe that is the other half's good I mean obviously I was with Emma for what 12 years you took you took your time sister.

24:14I know. Does her family know about you? Yeah, of course. Good, that's good. It's better than this. The point is like, you know, girlfriend felt a little less than. So it was like other half. Yeah, that's nice. Yeah. What you call me? Love of my life. I've heard him call. No, you're my beautiful wife. You actually are. When you call me, it comes up my beautiful wife. That's cute. that is cute I think I've seen it yeah what do you call P? um my lovely hobby that's cute we're gorgeous aren't we? gorgeous we are stunning okay we got one from a regular Julie Cheryl um that's Jules Cheryl wasn't sure if it was two people Jules and Cheryl me Julie me Julie um hi Abby P guys been listening to recent Epson yes Abby You and Liberty with a cooking podcast.

25:14I will definitely tune in. Can't wait. Challenge for next episode, Abby. You can't interrupt Peter whilst he's talking. I know. I know. Every time you do, he gets to go to golf. Do you accept the challenge? Gaz, you need to keep score. I would definitely put you podcast in the humour category. You've brightened many a day when Gaz laughs. It just makes you laugh. Love you guys. Can't wait to see your show. So far, the Owens has been my fave. What a laugh he is. You've said this about the Owens. You like the Owens. Yeah, I did like the Owen show. Yeah. I thought it was good. But I'm a horsey on.

25:45I love horses. Is there horses in the show? Yeah. Oh, I can't. Yeah, I'm not seeing. Oh, nice. No, but it was good. I thought they were a really nice family. Yeah. Yeah, it was really nice. Yeah. So if I start talking like this at any stage, and if I do it particularly slowly, as I'm doing now, how difficult this is for Abby to not interrupt is just, and I'm not quite done yet, phenomenally difficult for her not to interrupt. Because when I speak at this slow level, it's almost impossible for her to not interject. And that has probably been the most I've ever been allowed to speak in our entire 20 plus years of being together.

26:43Thank you very much, Abigail. How fucking boring are you? How boring would this pod be if it was just you talking? I can't deal with it. I cannot deal with it. He just talks so slow. I'm like, hurry up. Do you know how nice that felt? Just being able to, like, breathe with my words. Just being able... Without going... just get him out that was so lovely that must make you feel good that I feel great being allowed to express without being interrupted no I just feel like you've wasted minutes of my life you've wasted seconds unfortunately we're never going to change her it is what it is if you don't like it go somewhere else it's never going to change I'm staying put I like it I love it we had someone write in and made it into a drinking game he took a shot every time there was an interruption he said he was paralytic at the end of I think it is getting worse the interruption I think the lack of interest in my conversation is probably the main catalyst for it it's not that it's just because you talk too slow no I think when you're together and married for this long you become bored of your other person's conversation no no no it's absolutely not that because if I was bored of you I wouldn't be with you would I what are you like on the Peter Crouch pod does he talk slow on that I talk slow I talk at a normal speed I don't talk slowly but I think the thing that goes for you is he'll say something that triggers a thought in your head and then you want to say it before you lose it so that's why it comes out you know what I mean you can't kind of sit on it and then yeah I think that's how you are it kind of works right spontaneous that's more rude I don't think it's coming from a rude place though to be honest I just you're off the cuff it's just a bit of a my story's better than yours Yeah, yeah, exactly.

28:35Oh, beautiful. You've got great stories, bud. I'm joking. All my stories involve you, though. You're in them all. Okay, okay. You're in them. Thanks, babe. Well played, guys. You better go and get to your floor in. This is a big day. If this floor that we've been waiting for for months is wrong, I would play golf. That's how bad it would be. You'll take up golf if this floor's wrong. What a quote that is. All right, well, listen. we'll catch you next time catch you next time bye ask me anything Trevor
